Adam McKay kills any hopes of Anchorman 3

According to Adam McKay, hes done with the world of Ron Burgundy and the rest of the news team.

When the director was asked about a possible third installment, this is what he had to say:

Its done. I think thats it. It was great to do it and it was so fun to work with those guys again, but I think thats it for Ron Burgundy.

When ANCHORMAN 2: THE LEGEND CONTINUES hit theaters, it actually didnt do too bad. Sales reached over $100 million in the US, and doubled worldwide. However, the second installment didnt seem to have the same spark that the first did in in 2004. Perhaps they waited too long? While I personally enjoyed it, like most sequels, it didnt quite measure up to what I had originally experienced after being first introduced to the characters. So if the money was there, a third film seems like the thing to do, right?

No, thats the last sequel were gonna do. Theres nothing more fun to me than new characters and a new world. And now were releasing this alt version, were totally satisfied. No Anchorman 3.

This also kills the idea of that STEP BROTHERS sequel; another film full of awesome quotes. Dont even expect to hear from Burgundy ten years down the line. McKay already nipped that one in the bud:
